Continuing students

Postgraduate coursework degrees

If you are a Commonwealth supported student you will be charged the student contribution amount for your unit enrolments according to the subject area of the unit and the year that you are enrolling in.

At Macquarie, the standard full time load for all postgraduate courses is 32 credit points. This is equal to 1 EFTSL (Effective Full-time Student Load) and is used to calculate student contribution for a unit.

How much does a unit of study cost?

Step 1

Step 2

Look up the band for the unit you are interested in then look up the corresponding annual student contribution amount for that unit.

Step 3

Identify the standard annual load (SAL) in the table above.

Step 4

The cost of a unit based on the most common credit point values are shown below.

You can also use your calculator to work it out as follows:Unit Cost = (Credit points ÷ SAL) × Annual Contribution Amount

From 2017, there is no discount if you pay all or part of your student contribution amount up front to the University before the relevant census date.

Examples

Student contribution for 1 unit based upon 32 credit point standard annual load

You want to enrol in
CBMS807 in 2018. The contribution band for the unit is Band 2 and it has
a credit point value of 4. Your unit cost for 2018 is calculated as
follows:

Postgraduate student contribution bands

If you are a Commonwealth supported student you will be charged the student contribution amount for your unit enrolments according to the subject area of the unit. This is determined by the Unit Band and is dependent upon the year that you are enrolling into.

The subject area of the unit determines which Band is allocated to the unit - Band 1, Band 2 or Band 3.

Exchange Units are in the same band as their Macquarie counterpart.

The Credit Point Value, Student Contribution Band of your unit and the Annual Load of your course determine the amount you will be charged.

Student contribution bands for postgraduate units

The student contribution bands graduate and postgraduate units (600, 800 and 900 level) units offered at Macquarie University are listed in the tables below.
